Shortbed: 16 front, 18.2 rear
Longbed: 19 front, 18.2 rear
Those are from an OWNER'S MANUAL. Others will post all kinds of crazy figures based on how much gas they could or couldn't get into the tank, or based on the claimed sizes of aftermarket tanks. With the filler necks and slope of the truck, you may get a little more or less out of each tank. When I run my tanks dry, I get about 19.6 into the front and 18 into the rear, topping off past the shut-off.

Thanks everyone...I finally found my owners manual and it confirmed the the front is an 19 gal and the rear is an 18.2 gal.
I was wondering what kind of fuel mileage are other people getting on a 1995 5.0L Standard Cab, 8' Bed Stock F150?

Yes that sounds bad. Try filling one tank and run it till its empty and calculate your mileage. Remember to try and do this when the truck is empty.

Most of the driving around here is stop and go. A lot of traffic lights and stop signs. It really doesn't bother me because I only have a 2 mile drive to work. I have a 94 explorer that we use for family trips and stuff...and that has a 4.0L V6....so its not too bad on gas.
